My first multifuel?

[foxtrot]

My tenacity knows that nothing can resist me.
I persisted long and strongly.

Thick felt fender seal.

The right wing and bolted.
I need to apply a final coat of paint.

A weekend that begins as I like them.
Front axle brake pipe closed.
Wheel bearing adjustment.
Brake adjustment, bolt-on wheels.

Mighty Fine!!
Definitely looking awful good...

Oh, and by the way that wheel dolly sure is a nice tool to have. In particularly when you have a nice concrete floor to work on.

On the same hub, two stubborn brake settings.

No photo today, the sudden bad weather didn't give me time.
However you will guess the next operations.

The last two brake hoses.

400-425 lb-ft

 

[foxtrot]

At 400 lb-ft you have to put the tire on the ground.

I do have a ten cent question...

You have done well grasshopper - but what about this paint? You are going to stick another 4 tires onto those Budd inner nuts. You will of course paint the rims on the inside so they don't rust. Then the new lug nuts, then paint everything.

What's gonna happen when the paint isn't quite dry and everything sticks together like it was superglued?

Not that it doesn't look simply fantastic... I just have to ask.

 

[foxtrot]

All the inside of the rims have been painted since October 14, 2022 (Page 10) as well as the wheel hubs and the twin wheel contact surface are also primed.
I applied a light veil of paint on the surface in contact and once dry a layer of grease.
I go all the way back to the grease and all the contacts.
It's not over, I have a surprise for you.

 

[foxtrot]

Now I need to do the driver's side.

 

[Squirt-Truck]

WOW

 

[Darylfraser]

I love the look of this truck. Excellent work!

 

[foxtrot]

All the running gear and, finally, the differentials are put in oil.
This truck loves oil and grease, the capacities are substantial.

 

[18operator]

Wow! You've done an excellent job! Beautiful restoration!

 

[foxtrot]

All greasing points are now complete.

Quantity of oil used GO 80/90.
- 3 Differentials
- transmission
- Transfer box
- Front winch

 

[foxtrot]

The exhaust a long process.

Two days after greasing the winch a leak appeared, the passenger side needs to be redone.

One set screw missing and two bolts broken in the aluminum.

 

[foxtrot]

I have returned the complete harness, there are still a few connectors to crimp.
The charged batteries are in place.
Right headlight, ok!

 

[GopherHill]

You are doing a wonderful job. I loved your gear lube pump. Saves a lot of frustration.

 

[foxtrot]

If everything goes as planned I should be able to close the cooling circuit and start it this weekend.

 

[foxtrot]

Like every day for a month a storm is brewing.
Time to recover my tools and take two or three photos.
The weather is nice this weekend.

Where in the world are you? I didn't see any snow in your pictures during the winter so it must be somewhere mild
